Our 2017 Christmas “Card” (VIDEO)

Friends! In lieu of sending out official holiday cards this year, because — let’s face it, both of us are total procrastinators, plus mailboxes and inboxes of all kinds have never been our forte — we thought we’d sing you all a little Christmas song instead. ♡

From our home to yours, we wish you a holiday ahead filled with much love and hope and light. And we’re sending so many abrazos (hugs!) your way.

Ahhh! So super sweet! Loved it, loved it, loved it! Thank you. Love you guys. Wish you a very Merry Christmas. Love to meet you guys in person with our little family if we make it to that part of the world one day. Many happy greetings your way. xoxo

Just love this….feeling so merry right now. Hey Ali and Barclay, my daughter is flying to Barcelona to study for 4 months…leaving Jan 2nd. As a result, I’ve been sharing your blog with her too….to discover fun corners of the city. Felix Navidad to you both from chilly MN.

Merry Christmas to both of you in far off Spain. You are so brave to pick up and leave the country to one that speaks a foreign language. I admire you for your adventurous sides! Twice my husband and I packed up and moved 1000 miles with no jobs waiting to begin our lives in different parts of the USA but we are both retired now and in Iowa. Wed. I flew to NC to visit my youngest daughter and my 2 granddaughters who are already 12 and 16. Had a fantastic visit in their brand new home. (Daddy) is a residential architect and this is their 5th new home! Flew home last evening so I could be with my husband on Christmas. I had to get caregivers to come in and do what I’ve been doing for him for a number of years and they needed to be done by Christmas as well. His face lit up with a really bright smile when I came thru the door. We were very happy to see each other again. 30 years and no arguments as we are soulmates! Much love as I keep up with your busy lives here on the internet. You are an awesome team and a wonderful cook as well. Terry – Iowa with SNOW!

Aw, this was amazing! So sweet and so filled with love. You made me all misty eyed! I hadn’t caught up with you in quite a while and am just going back through all of the wedding and moving news and I’m so happy for you, Ali!! xo
